Just hanging out...

Just took the day and relaxed. Made some great food, watched some movies, read a bit, listened to the radio, just had an all around good day.

First get together

Had some friends and family out yesterday, and had a chance to break in the Saloon. Made some chilli, had a few drinks, played a few games... It was nice. Been a while since we've had enough room to sit around with people, and not have to be outside.

In all the excitment...

Last Saturday we had what has to be the greatest winter storm so far out here. It started raining in the morning, rained all day, and around 7pm it started to snow, not stopping until 9am Sunday morning! I had the opportunity to mud bog coming home from work, and slip and slid in the snow and ice going back the next day... Very fun weekend.

A new working kitchen...

Besides some trim work, and the bar "island" this kitchen is now fully functional.

Getting one step closer... (Corrected post)

Been a long project, but this is were we are today... Tomorrow the fridge will be moved in, then we are functional. Only thing left is the bar, and a few finishing touches...

I feel so accomplished...

The inside of the saloon is now chinked. Meaning it is now officially sealed from the outside, and can be used!

I was able to have a few extra hours to work on it due to the weather today. We had a nice snow storm come through the area today, and my work decided they were over staffed for the day. So after being at work for 45 min, they sent me home. If I didn't have this project to finish, I would have been peeved. But it all worked out.

And another step closer.

Made headway on the kitchen/saloon... It now has a working name (Smith's Bar & Grill) We now have running water, and all the cabinets are in place around the appliances. Next week we will install the fridge in its alcove. Also all the interior walls have been chinked, making it now sealed from the outside. What a difference it made!
